Equipment

  • Colander

Ingredients

  • 3 lbs. yukon gold potatoes
  • 9 large eggs
  • 1 sweet yellow onion diced
  • 1 - 1 ½ cups mayonnaise
  • ¼ cup yellow mustard
  • ½ teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • optional ingredients - ½ dill pickle minced, ¼ minced herbs - parsley, cilantro, dill, etc. - use your favorite!

Instructions

  • Scrub the potatoes under warm water, dice them into ½ inch pieces.
  • Add the potatoes to a large pot and fill with water to 1 inch over potatoes. Add a tablespoon of salt, bring to a boil. Cook until the potatoes are fork tender, drain well.
  • Boil the eggs, drain well and peel. Refrigerate the potatoes and hard boiled eggs until they are completely cooled. We often do this the night before.
  • Dice the onion into a small dice.
  • When you're ready to make the potato salad, Add the mayonnaise to a small bowl, along with the mustard.. Chop the hard boiled eggs and add them to the bowl. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Add the potatoes and onions to a large mixing bowl. Top with the creamy mayonnaise dressing and stir everything together well.
  • *If you're adding the optional herbs and pickles, finely mince and add to the salad - stir to combine.

Notes

Boil the potatoes until they are just fork (not knife) tender. The time will depend on the size of the potatoes; whether they are whole or diced etc.
Potato Salad can certainly be made the day before. Prior to serving, stir it well and check the seasoning. It may need a little more mayo, salt or pepper. Just taste it first and adjust the seasonings.
I prefer to prepare the ingredients - boiling the eggs and potatoes, dicing the onions, etc. the day before and then mixing everything together the day it will be served.
